Abstract
Microelectrodes have been used for the measurement of oxygen tension in various biological systems.(Silver, 1987) Although not previously reported, microelectrodes allow the direct measurement of oxygen tension profiles within collagen gels containing entrapped hepatocytes (collagcn-hepatocyte gels). These oxygen tension profiles, along with hepatocyte oxygen consumption data, allowed the estimation of a diffusion coefficient for oxygen in collagen-hepatocyte gels, Dg = 2.99 × 10-5 cm2/s.
